I am actually kind of split on that. In the technical sense, it is not playing an instrument. There is no notation or even tablatures for it. Not to mention the fact, that DJing is using someone else music.

But on the other hand, I do consider it to be art. It is not easy to do, I have tried. In that sense, it is like playing an instrument.

I have actually become quite intersted in DJ music over the past couple of years. I listen to a lot of stuff that puts DJing and virtuosic guitar playing together. Which sounds really awesome. One of my heroes, guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani, put out an album like that and it floored me. Really great CD called 'Engines of Creation'. That is kind of the direction I want to take my music that I right. The only problem is finding DJs in the area I live in. Especially DJs that would be interested in that type of project.
